Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming WEST SABINE ISD agenda and found 3 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
| ALERT (LEVEL 8) |
|
Board to Decide on Appointing New Trustee, Bypassing Voters
Following a board member’s resignation, the remaining trustees will decide whether to appoint a replacement for Place 4 or to call a special election. Appointing a trustee denies citizens their right to choose their own representative.
Response
DEMAND AN ELECTION: Contact the West Sabine ISD board and urge them to choose a special election for Item 7.A. ‘The voters, not the board, should decide who represents them. Please vote to hold a special election to fill the vacancy for Place 4.’
💰 Impact: Denies a Public Vote

| WATCH (LEVEL 5) |

Undisclosed Budget Amendments on the Agenda
The agenda includes an item for ‘Budget Amendments’ with no supporting documents or explanation of what funds are being moved or for what purpose. This lack of transparency prevents the public from scrutinizing changes to the district’s spending plan.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the West Sabine ISD board before the meeting. ‘Please provide the details for Agenda Item 6, Budget Amendments, so the public can understand what financial changes are being proposed before you vote.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed

District Considers Independent Audit to Cut Waste
The board will vote on hiring an independent auditor to conduct an efficiency audit of all district spending. This is a major step towards identifying and eliminating wasteful spending, ensuring tax dollars are used effectively in the classroom.
How to Lock It In
SUPPORT THIS VOTE: Contact the West Sabine ISD board to express strong support for Item 7.E. ‘Thank you for considering an efficiency audit. This is exactly the kind of fiscal responsibility and transparency taxpayers want to see from our school district.’
